A review of the first Abbey producttion of 'Katie Roche'. "Miss Deevy has given us a splendid study of a girl all heart and no head, who does not realise that living and loving go hand in hand with suffering."

Review of the Torch Theatre, London production of 'Katie Roche'. "Katie Roche could only be played, as it is being played at the Torch, with vivacious dignity. Here are none of the touches of burlesque that disfigure too many Irish plays."

Review of the first Abbey Production of 'The Reapers'. "Miss Deevy's play shows the unthrifty husbandry of good first plays. Her argument barks up too many trees in the first act, and sends us questing along too many false trails".
